Five Star Reviews: | 57% Solid performance July 3, 2017 Always keep some of this type of stuff in the house, office. Great for papercuts, hangnails. Doesn't adhere where skin has to bend and flex, though, but a good option. I hate paper cuts January 20, 2017 Works great to stop paper cuts from bugging you all day and make cuts heal faster Just like a miracle healer cracks on my fingers heal faster. January 5, 2017 Use it on my fingers helps the cracks on my fingers heal faster. This is great stuff. Has an antibiotic and then seals it ... November 9, 2016 This is great stuff. Has an antibiotic and then seals it over. Keeps other contamination out and healing is much faster. Great Liquid Bandage June 2, 2013 The New Skin Liquid Bandage is a great product. It does have a strong odor. It dries very quickly. I would highly recommend this product. | 51% | 64% For hard to reach areas and great way to stop bleeding fast. August 15, 2017 Curad flex bandage spray is awesome. I had been using it for a minor cut that is hard to get a bandage properly to adhere and cover. It works great.A day ago I was cutting an item I slipped and cut my thumb pretty well. I was having a rough time getting it to stop bleeding. I applied the Curad flex bandage and in a few seconds it sealed and stopped the bleeding. I am very impressed and will be a returning happy customer. Waterproof and stays put on skin April 30, 2017 Good for areas that a band aid won't stay. Good for washing because of being waterproof. The absolute best for scrapes, cuts, on hairy or bendy parts :) September 9, 2016 Why can't I find this in stores anymore? If anyone knows which store sells these please comment here and tell me! This is the BEST for scrapes and cuts on hands and bendy parts. My boys scream when they see it, and I figure "Hey,it's not like it's Bactine or something, get back here?" but it coats and seals and protects their scraped up bendy parts so they can go back to playing. Also with hairy arms and legs, bandaids don't stick well, so this is a no-brainer and lasts for a day or two with a few coats. It stings a bit at first (I also use it on me, especially on fingers/hands) but the second coat doesn't hurt. It even will fill in little cuts so they will stop opening up and start healing. It's not globby and yellow like New Skin or liquid bandage. This stuff is the best and I wish I could find it locally. We go through a lot of it! Works well August 25, 2016 Works really well. Suggestion: if spraying onto hand cuts, position over a garbage can and spray. Overspray can be sticky to clean up. I had two cuts 3 days ago: one I used this stuff, the other I used Liquid Bandage. The LB cut got a little infected, had to clean it and reseal it again, the one using this (which was bigger) never caused me a moment more trouble. GREAT solution for cuts February 12, 2016 Glue me up Scottie! This stuff is the best. Cut myself while vacationing at the beach and it glued my cut very well. I was able to put on a waterproof bandage on top and swim and play hard all week without skipping a beat. Just reapplied nightly after being in and out of water all day long. |
Four Star Reviews: | 20% I've used this for years ... August 15, 2017 New Skin drys quickly and it will fill in a blemish if it's uneven. You can also apply makeup over this product after it drys. The thicker you apply it the easy it is to remove. It will stay on really well and it will pull out hair or eyebrows if you get it in them ... so be careful where you apply it. It will sting a little bit when applying it if you have an open wound. I've used this product for several years all over my body ... minor cuts, blemishes, etc. Four Stars January 13, 2015 It was just what I was wanted, but not able to procure from my local drug store. | 12% A medicine cabinet must have June 17, 2017 When a bandage strip just won't work, this will keep a wound clean and covered. It works well witj my flats. I still yet ... May 10, 2017 It works well witj my flats. I still yet to try it with my heels. I thinks it may work well but I hopefully will try it for heels soon . Good product for certain uses May 3, 2015 Loud but effective for places where a bandaid is difficult to use, i.e., hand, wrist. The smell might bother some. Good product. | 16% ... in a pinch but it will peel off fairly easily. April 13, 2017 Does the trick in a pinch but it will peel off fairly easily. Tiny can, but if it works as stated, everyone should keep it close at hand! October 4, 2016 I have not had a chance to use it, however as a former EMT, I could see a reason to have and keep with me. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it is TINY for the price! Once I have a chance to use it I will update the review. |
Three Star Reviews: | 7% Not good for knuckles June 7, 2014 I purchased this for the occasional knuckle abrasions I get while training. The product actually made the abrasions worse when the fingers bent, tearing the wounds open deeper. So this is probably great for flat, non flexible areas of the body but not great for the bendy bits. Just use a bandaid. July 24, 2012 Cons-A-Yes, it smells. So I wouldn't advise using it if you're looking to conceal a wound or are going somewhere your scent will be important to you, because that smell will not go away until the product is nearly peeled off.B-I'm surprised that some reviews state that the product allows wounds to breathe. It does not. If anything it keeps wounds, well, gooey.C-I'm honestly not convinced of its disinfectant quality either. Every time I've used it my wounds have become red and swollen and clearly have pus trapped beneath the liquid bandage in addition to being hot to the touch. I don't know about anyone else, but that sounds an awful lot like an infection to me.D-It also tends to increase the visibility of scars, at least as far as I've seen.Pros-A-If you have a scab or a dry wound you're worried about rubbing on clothes, this is perfect. Both to protect your clothes and to keep wounds from getting worse. Great way to protect your bedding from scabs that are cracking.B-Great for blisters so long as they're dry. Would not advise using with blisters you've not drained yet.C-Way easier to carry around than half a dozen different sizes of bandaids.D-It increases the visibility of scars. So if you like your scars, this is probably a good investment.All told, I think carrying bandaids or gauze and medical tape is a better bet, barring frequent, smallish wounds that are awkward to bandage in any other fashion. It's waterproof... up to a point July 17, 2011 First of all, yes, this product will smell first like the solvent it uses (which should be reason enough to consider other products first), then like cloves. Maybe it smells less pleasant than the oil of cloves it uses to presumably cover up the smell of the polymer?This is also mainly intended for use on clean, shallow wounds, so large scrapes or deep wounds should be treated by another method. It's also going to sting quite a bit until the solvent vaporizes, so don't get the impression that this is like cyanoacrylate. If you get a paper cut on your fingertip, this would probably perform better than the traditional bandage, which can slip off very easily, especially when wet.It's also about as waterproof as the adhesive on most Band-Aid type bandages-- as in, if the bandage is underwater long enough, water will start to get between the bandage and the skin. That means you'll need to re-apply the stuff if this happens, and the effect is worse in hot soapy water (then again, it could be my skin type, which tends to be pretty oily). It's also very tempting to peel off in this state, but I don't advise that if you're still healing, because you might peel your skin off the wound in the process. Ouch.As far as I can tell, the bandage is airtight. Modern bandages try to allow the wound to "breathe" as much as possible to keep anaerobic pathogens from infecting the wound and to help the tissue rebuild itself, so a wound treated with New Skin may be disinfected by its solvent, but it may take longer to heal (I've had this happen before).Thin layers are very flexible, but if you apply more than one layer, it can be quite stiff-- I've had it shear off or even split when it was on the outside of my knuckles, and if there's residual pain deep in the wound, this isn't going to help much. You can use this as a thimble of sorts-- if you've just started playing a stringed instrument with a fingerboard, you may want to put this on your fingers until they become callused. Like an artificial scab - works great for joints August 6, 2009 I had a scrape on my elbow that wasn't healing quite right - every time I moved my arm, the developing scab would crack and expose the wound. And it hurt every time! Regular bandages kept the area too moist, so I tried this stuff.It does sting a ton and it does have a strong smell like nail polish. But once it dries, it doesn't hurt and it's just like a real scab. I found I had a much greater range of painless movement, and the wound healed faster.Because of the stinging, I wouldn't use it if a bandaid would do. But for cuts in odd places where bandaids don't work well, it's pretty good. I might try a different brand of liquid bandage in the future, but I'll finish my bottle of this first. I guess it works... July 2, 2008 Smells like paint thinner or something, nasty and strong smell that lasts forever. It's probably been 6 hours since I put it on. I put a 1 second spray on a 5 inch scratch from my dog on my arm. It covered it well and seems to be like putting super glue over the cut. It stings for a couple seconds and then feels better. The smell made my dog stay away from me for over an hour, lol.I guess it's better than putting a huge bandaid on though. | 10% Good product, but its brush-on version is superior July 16, 2016 I bought the spray=on version of New Skin to compare against the older, brush-on style. Here are my findings:PROS:+ Like the brush-on New Skin, this product is great for quickly sealing and protecting cuts on pars of your body where traditional band-aids don't work well -- joints, especially fingers and hands.+ The product dries in about 3 minutes into a mostly-clear, somewhat flexible synthetic "scab."+ Because it is a spray, there is little or no risk of cross-contamination between users, in contrast to pathogens that might conceivably be communicated between users sharing the brush-on model. However, the antiseptic properties of New Skin itself make it unlikely any pathogen would survive that contamination route.+ In contrast to Band-aids, you can shower or wash a cut protected by New Skin, and it won't get soggy or wash away.CONS:- Hard to aim the spray in exactly the right place.- Often squirts on more New Skin than you really want. requiring extended drying times.- After a day or so, New Skin tends to crack and flake, requiring trimming (I use nail scissors) or re-sealing with more New Skin.CONCLUSIONS:New skin is far superior to Band-aids for cuts on your hands, elbows, knees, or feet. However, the spray-on version of New Skin is inferior to its brush-on version because it does not provide sufficient control over where and how much New Skin is applied.This product is good, but the brush-on version is better.. Not a breakthrough July 26, 2014 If you're expecting a liquid skin that deals with the mess of protecting cuts and bruises from elements - yes , it can do an OK job.Ber in mind in can be washed off, tears easily once cure and flakes in the process. Cannot say if any cuts I took were faster to close. Oh well. | 12% Ill go back to the liquid vs gaseous bandage spray. August 12, 2016 Spray tends to hit a much larger area than you want. Not great June 30, 2016 I normally use a different brand of liquid bandage, that is not clear, and thought this might be an improvement. It was not, it did not seal the wound I used it on, even after several coats, and it ran down my leg before drying. This did not dry as quickly as the brand i normally buy.It may work for very minor scratches, but I personally will not buy this brand again... This stings like all get out when applied December 10, 2015 This stings like all get out when applied, but it does seem to stay in place for a long time. I give it two coats, at least, with plenty of dry time between. I won't be using this on a child, but it's okay for adults who can handle the sting without screaming. |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% Not recommended for runners November 11, 2015 I opened up a small friction wound on top of the large toe "knuckle" on my foot while running. I tried New Skin in lieu of a regular bandage to help it stay covered/protected while I continued running. The New Skin peeled off after a couple of miles on the two runs where I tried it. The first time, no real harm - it just peeled off in one piece and the wound rubbed open again. The second time, which was a longer and faster run, the New Skin peeled off and caused additional cracking in the areas it was covering that weren't previously opened.In short, I'd recommend New Skin in areas that aren't exposed to any kind of friction or bending, but would not use it for knuckles on your hands or feet, nor is it adequate protection for small running-related wounds. I'd recommend using sport flexible/waterproof bandaids and old-fashioned bacitracin along with a foot cream to prevent additional cracking instead.It probably works pretty well for run-of-the-mill everyday cuts and scrapes, though as everyone else notes it smells like paint thinner and stings like heck! No pain - no gain January 20, 2014 I dont know what I had expected, but I just want to let you know that it stings like crazy when you apply this stuff 0.oI used it once, and now it's in the drawer ....I think I will just stick to good ol' band aid. does not breathe well September 8, 2010 recently used this product when my son fell and suffered a scrape on his forehead. i applied two coatings of the product to the wound and almost a weak later the wound has not formed a scab and appears to be quite raw yet. while the product is quite easy to use, i think the wound would have healed a lot faster if left open or covered with a simple bandaid. that said, if you plan to swim then it sure beats using a bandaid or leaving the wound open. Messy, smelly, and takes forever to dry -- but it WORKS! May 8, 2008 I bought this at my local drugstore b/c the Nexcare brand was missing. It does the job, but not very well. It SMELLS (like nailpolish) and takes at least 20min to dry. It doesn't really sting, but it is drippy and messy.I cut my finger while cutting an onion and the cut itself was fairly deep (I think?). The last time something similar happened, I went to the hospital, and I waited for a good while before the doctor applied Dermabond. So I figured I could go buy this product in lieu of a hospital trip...So far, it's holding, but b/c my wound hadn't stopped bleeding when I applied the adhesive there is some trapped blood between my skin and the adhesive. My wound looks flimsy, like it'll burst open any minute.It does the job, but not as adequately as I would like. It smells and it's messy (lacks viscosity), and it takes forever to dry. I hear Nexcare makes a better product (although the new version is purported to be less durable).**On a side note, since my wound is probably "deeper" than most scrapes or papercuts, I should have held the sides of the wound together when applying the product. I couldn't since it was still bleeding...which might explain increased drying time. | 5% Burns a bit. September 13, 2017 Prevents infection, but I'm glad I used it on myself before applying to cuts and scrapes on my grandkids. Reminds me of the iodine we used when I was a kid. | 3% Ok- not great March 9, 2017 Not like the old curad spray- didn't cover well or film over well I thought- wish i could get the old curad stuff- that worked well- I suppose it filmed over enough though if you have a cut to keep debri out- I just need something a bit stronger and more of a film- Not as thick as other spray bandage brand. I ... September 20, 2014 Not as thick as other spray bandage brand. I needed more of a protective layer for cuts on hands and fingers, this just was too thin. |
One Star Reviews: | 12% Terrible and smelly! January 4, 2017 My husband gets many finger splits and cracks in the winter. We bought this stuff thinking it might be cheaper and more protective than regular bandages. When you open the bottle the smell of nail polish is OVERWHELMING! It was horrible. Then it also stung, even on the skin around the split. To make matters worse, you have to use MORE of it in order to take off what is already on your skin. Is that some marketing ploy to get you to use more? What the heck! We're going back to bandages. Not the same March 19, 2016 They must have changed their formula. I live on this during the winter. Just bought a new bottle and it is not as thick and does not do the job. | 22% Comes out of the nozzle way too fast if you have a small cut October 26, 2017 It comes out of the nozzle too fast. I purchased this at CVS because I needed immediately and they did not have the one with the brush. I only recommend using this when you have a larger cut and you can use the hand that you use every day for things to put your finger on the nozzle. Otherwise it comes out way too fast. When you use the one with the brush like I just ordered and it just came in yesterday you have full and total control of how much you put on it doesn’t go all over the place. I have diabetes and I cut my finger a lot more than I should for some unknown reason so I wash my hands frequently as most people do I have to continuously change a band aid. Now eventually I got it down where I could spray it kind of without going all over the place you have to put on multiple coats and yes it does work and yes it becomes waterproof. But here’s what happened to me after only having it for three days all the air pressure went out of the can and I have a half used can that I paid almost $11 for that I have to throw in the garbage. I have a picture down below above. This stuff works great if you have a large cut I recommend the new skin with the brush for any small cuts because you don’t have to have it go all over the place so i have to order that thing seperately and im disappointed that i cant even use it without that October 1, 2017 0.it doesnt even have a clipper i thought when i bought it it has that thing included but i was wrong it doesnt have it.so i have to order that thing seperately and im disappointed that i cant even use it without that.and that is also much expensive than the tag remover. burns and leaves scars March 3, 2017 Terrible. Only worked for 1 day and then the sprayer stopped spraying. You can hear the product in the can but it is not coming out. Burns like hell and left a scar on my hand where I used it. When I contacted the company on their facebook page and emailed them about the broken product they ignored me, so I'm certain they know they are selling a faulty product. I used to be pretty loyal to New Skin products, after this I'm never using them again. Did a great job of coating my irregular wound April 16, 2016 The odor was so strong, I can't subject everyone else to it. Did a great job of coating my irregular wound, but I can't take this outside. Shame the product is being wasted. When I was young, the brush on version was easier to tolerate. | 5% |
